The procurement falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services, within the region of UKK1. The process has reached the award stage as of 9th September 2025, with the contract valued at £292,000 set to be active from 20th March 2025 to 19th March 2029.

The procurement method used was direct, identified as "Below threshold - without competition," under the light touch regime, and was subsequently awarded to Beaufort Grange, a large-scale supplier located in Borehamwood. This contract provides opportunities for businesses engaged in the provision of health and social work services, particularly those specialising in social care or educational placements. With the procurement method of direct award, businesses that have established trust and capability in delivering high-quality services without requiring competitive bids may find this advantageous.

Large or medium-sized enterprises with robust service delivery capabilities in the social care sector would be well-suited to engage and deliver on similar future contracts initiated by public authorities like Bristol City Council.
